I'm learning to keep an art journal by taking part in a FB art journaling group. Every week I get a new prompt to use as a starting point. This week's prompt was "What will you say "Yes" to in 2016? I did a shamanic journey yesterday to find my yes. In 2016 I'm saying "Yes" to the magic in me and around me.

Today on a grassy viewpoint overlooking the ocean, as if by magic, I found a wand and a very special stone at my feet. If you are a fan of the Harry Potter series of books and movies, then you will understand why I love them so much. If not, I'll just say that this wand and stone are very powerful. Being given this wand and stone is a very exciting step in my development as a multi-dimensional being.

I see magic everywhere. It's a part of who I am. Now that I have these new tools, I can't wait to see what happens with my paintings.

Tomorrow I am going to sit with this stone and paint with this wand. In the meantime I have made this art journal page to set my intention.
